A large number of forms are not. A large number of forms are layed out in HTML using tables, because that helps people working visually to make the connections that people using speech output rely on their system picking up from the markup. That layout is difficult in this case to produce except with tables (Maybe Vadim still reads this list and can show how to do it using block and inline layout, or the CSS2 table type layout - it is certainly possible, and better and beter supported.
